Pharmacology

Sodium bicarbonate is a systemic alkalizer, which increases plasma bicarbonate, buffers excess hydrogen ion concentration, and raises blood pH, thereby reversing the clinical manifestations of acidosis. It is also a urinary alkalizer, increasing the excretion of free bicarbonate ions in the urine, thus effectively raising the urinary pH. It also replenishes electrolyte imbalance in severe diarrhea where the loss of bicarbonate can be significant.

Precautions

Caution should be taken for patients with pre-existing heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, high blood pressure, any allergies because this medication contains salt (sodium), do not use it if you are on a salt restricted diet.
